TITLE Louis Vuitton Paris – Black Patent Leather Pointed-Toe Pumps with Rose Appliqué – EU 38½ – Original Box and Accessories DESCRIPTION An exceptionally distinctive and highly collectible pair of Louis Vuitton women’s high-heeled pumps, presented in glossy black patent leather and finished with elaborate three-dimensional rose appliqués. The shoes feature a sharply pointed silhouette, elegant stiletto heels and an unusual decorative composition across the toes. The contrasting panels combine nude-toned patent leather with cream and dusty-pink textiles, ribbonwork roses, dark contrasting stitching, small sequins, beads and silver-tone ornamental details. This highly decorative construction gives the pair a strong couture character and makes it particularly suitable for collectors of archival designer footwear. The glossy black patent leather creates a dramatic contrast with the delicately coloured textile decoration. The interiors are finished in black and bear gold-tone “Louis Vuitton Paris” branding. The identifying reference visible inside the shoes appears to read “NQ0028”. The leather soles are marked with the Louis Vuitton initials, “Made in Italy” and size 38½.

The black patent leather retains an attractive, deep gloss. Minor surface scratches, rubbing and light marks may be present, consistent with careful previous wear and storage. The leather outsoles show normal contact wear, surface marks and discolouration from use. The stiletto heels appear complete, with the heel tips present. Particular attention should be paid to the elaborate toe decorations. These delicate textile and ribbonwork elements show visible ageing and wear, including fraying, loose or exposed threads, lifted fabric edges, minor discolouration and localised losses or movement among the small beads, sequins and ornamental components. Dark thread lines are visible across parts of the appliqué work. These details can be clearly examined in the close-up photographs. The decorative elements have not been restored, reattached or cosmetically altered for this sale. Because of their delicate construction, a professional inspection by a specialist shoe restorer or experienced cobbler is recommended before regular wear. The pair may also be especially attractive as a display or reference piece within a designer-fashion collection. The interiors show light signs of use and storage. No major structural breakage is apparent from the photographs; however, the shoes are sold in their present condition, with all age-related details preserved. INCLUDED IN THE LOT * One pair of Louis Vuitton pumps * Louis Vuitton shoe box * Two Louis Vuitton fabric dust bags * Louis Vuitton booklet/card * Small transparent bag containing replacement heel components or related hardware Only the items visible in the photographs are included. The box and accessories may show minor marks or storage wear. SIZE AND FIT The shoes are marked EU size 38½. As fit can vary depending on the last, pointed-toe construction and individual foot shape, prospective buyers are advised to compare the marked size with a similar pair of Louis Vuitton shoes that fits them comfortably. The sharply pointed toe and high stiletto heel should also be taken into consideration when assessing fit and wearability.
